Resolution

Before you start

Consider the following information:

  • If you cancel the direct debit payment request in GoCardless, you can't send another request for the same invoice.
    Create a new invoice with a future date, then either reverse the original with a credit note or use account allocation to match a payment from another bank account.
  • If you cancel the customer's mandate, the recurring invoice template pauses for your review.
    Any invoices issued before cancellation may still be collected and included in a payout. If they aren't collected and paid out, create a new invoice with a future date and reverse the original with a credit note.
